As a screenwriter my biggest dream is to own day write a line so perfect that Redditors and IMDB trivia writers claim it was ad-libbed by the actors on set.

Eliezer Yudkowsky & @allTheYud X.com I wonder how much of Western civilization's collapse is downstream of writers and scriptwriters deciding they were too cool and sophisticated to write about good people doing good things.

Civilisation has been in a moral and artistic nosedive ever since they made it possible to play as Bowser in Mariokart, and win races for evil

The rest of the world to Trump:

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened.

And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

I think LLMs as a technology are probably here to stay, and will remain situationally useful once the hype dies - they're good at SOME things. I do think Tech Barons will stop trying to force them everywhere within the decade, but not without majorly crashing the economy when the bubble bursts :/

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

Knuckle tattoo saying "Sonic and Knuckles"

Knuck tatt idea

one of the basic problems of prediction markets that our brilliant economists clearly have not thought through is that the insider trading poisons basically everything in public life. everything is potentially untrustworthy, a set-up. the fix is always in.

The Atlantic: Tonight is Trump's chance to turn things around

Trump's State of the Union: "I am the senate. Remember the Emperor from Star Wars? Lotta people say he was a great leader. I don't know, maybe I am the senate. We have to keep the illegals from voting for transgender for everyone"

@bencollins.bsky.social

this is a fantastic idea, would absolutely watch it; and also you (accidentally?) calling it "Straight Eye" suggests the further possibility of an inverse show where straight guys provide makeovers to butch women who have decided they want to dress worse and more like dads

What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar

“Softness” implies a belief in but lack of courage. Newsom said he “completely aligned” with Kirk and that he has devolved to be more anti-trans.

That is itself disqualifying now, not in 2031, bc this regime is targeting and defaming us now and the opposition party should be standing up for us.

the best "Christian media" I can think of in the last 10ish years is like, The Locked Tomb or The Mountain Goats' discography. things that get taken as "anti-religion" on the surface level because they're honest and critical instead of cynical Culture War Slop

this is really coming together!!

I'll add more when I have time later - I'm not even all the way through the bundle yet, and have passed many I hadn't heard of before that I'm intrigued by and want to go back to play/read before recommending. But it's a worthy cause even without all the incredible games you'll get for donating

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy Beta August 22nd 2025 by Agency of Narrative Intrigue and Mystery A TTRPG for deep character roleplay, realistic combat, player deduction, and secret monster antics!

Eureka! by @anim-ttrpgs.bsky.social is still in Beta, but literally every design decision in it is perfectly tailored to to creating and investigating compelling urban-fantasy mysteries. I want to join their RPG book club just to have people to play it with anim-ttrpg.itch.io/eureka-urban...

Lo! Thy Dread Empire by Tanya Floaker The Skeleton War against the Death Cult of Capitalism

Lo! Thy Dread Empire by @floaker.bsky.social was another great ZineQuest '22 debut. It's a short tactical RPG about "the skeleton war against the death cult of capitalism," and its book is an absolute work of art. Get the bundle just to look at it, let alone play it floaker.itch.io/lo-thy-dread...

Baba Is You by Hempuli A puzzle game where you change the rules. Also award-winning!

If you like puzzle games and somehow don't own Baba Is You yet, I'm literally begging you to get the bundle and download it. It will rewire your brain hempuli.itch.io/baba

[BXLLET> by Rathayibacter Bullets make power. Power makes ruin. Ruin makes fertile ground.

[BXLLET> by @rathayibacter.itch.io is a post-apocalyptic Western Gunslinging game that doubles as a meditation on violence. It has one of the most elegant and brutal combat systems I've ever seen:

"If you point a loaded gun at someone and pull the trigger,
they die."

Under the Autumn Strangely by Graham Gentz A pastoral horror game full of anachronistic Americana in a land that Never Was!

Under the Autumn Strangely by @thismaybegraham.bsky.social is one of my favorite games that debuted in the same ZineQuest as Wizard War. If you love Over the Garden Wall and want a clever GMless system to explore those vibes on your own, you should get this bundle grahamgentz.itch.io/under-the-au...

Starting a thread to showcase other neat games I know are in the No ICE in Minnesota bundle. Feel free to chime in if you have (or want to recommend) a game in here I've failed to mention
